Feed an Elephant

Help The Sanctuary with one of our largest ongoing operating costs! Each of The Sanctuary's resident elephants consumes approximately 150 lbs. of food every day. While the elephants forage naturally in the habitat, The Sanctuary staff must also provide additional food and supplements to make sure nutritional needs are met. $50.00 will feed an elephant for one day and $500.00 will feed all 10 elephants for a day.

Donations at the $50+ level receive:

a photo card with information about elephant diets

monthly EleNews email updates, including invitations to special events

a one-year subscription to The Sanctuary’s triannual newsletter, Trunklines

Dedicating your donation is a great way to recognize a special friend or family member. If you choose to make a gift In Memory, In Honor, or for a special occasion such as an anniversary or birthday, the individual or family you designate will receive a certificate informing them a gift has been made in the designee’s name. If the recipient is new to The Elephant Sanctuary, they will also receive the latest copy of Trunklines.

The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee is a 501(C)(3) Nonprofit Corporation EIN: 62-1587327. Licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).

With your support, The Elephant Sanctuary:

Provides captive elephants with individualized care, the companionship of a herd, and the opportunity to live out their lives in a safe haven dedicated to their wellbeing;

Raises public awareness of the complex needs of elephants in captivity, and the crisis facing elephants in the wild.

The Elephant Sanctuary has set aside unrestricted financial operational reserves of five times its budgeted expenses to ensure the lifetime care and safe haven for an undetermined number of elephants. Elephants have an expected lifespan of 50-70 years and The Sanctuary is committed to providing food, shelter, veterinary care, medicine, caregivers, property maintenance and security. Along with the public’s continuing support, these funds are needed to provide for the elephants currently in our care and those to come.
